If anyone knows the size of the bolts and nuts that hold the swaybar to the frame (not to the susp) for the rear bar, please let me know. Susp tech packages their **** for people with SEs that have rear swaybars stock. I've got a 97 basemodel, so I dont have one, nor the bolts to bolt it up. So I need to go buy them. any help would be greatly appreciated.

whoah!! I didnt know the base model 240s didnt come with rear swaybars, so does that mean they are missing the front ones too? I highly doubt it, but whats the deal?

nah, the base comes with just the front. the SE and LE come with a front and rear.

THANK YOU!!! I was going to go to the Nissan dealership and get them since I thought I had no other choice. They quoted me 15 f**kin bucks for 4 bolts! Thank you so much man! Is there anything else I need to install these in the rear? I was told I need the end-links, but the package seems to include susp techniques end-links I beleive. Thanks for your help so far, you just made my day (it was going bad before this). :ylsuper

i was considering going with cusco, but theyre way too expensive for my blood. I doubt theres much (if any) gain from going with cusco over susp tech. I know susp tech is on back order right now, I got one of the last sets at Enjuku (go Enjuku! Awesome customer service!) since theyre right down the road from my house. I actually only had plans on getting springs, but I opened my big mouth and asked if they had an AGXs in stock, then Ken opened his big mouth and was like "yep, we actually just got a set in" and im like "oh crap! now I gotta buy them... ****!" and i did. Then I saw swaybars on their display wall. Figuring they didnt have any sways in stock for my car, im like "hey, would you guys happen to have a set of susp techs for the s14?". Then Ken, showing no simpathy for my credit card, said "yep". Then he seriously stabbed me when I asked "how much, around 240-260?" and hes like "actually, 220". Damn that Ken, damn him and Enjuku! :D

Your bar should have come with the bolts - I have an ST set and they had all the hardware, it was one of the easiest installs Ive ever done...

nope, it didnt come with them, i checked. my directions even said "use existing mounting hardware for bar". i thought it was kinda dumb, but for 220 for a set, im not complaining at all, lol.

yeah, thats pretty damn sad. youd think for 300+ bucks for 1 damn bar, theyd give you everything needed atleast. i got a set (of equal quality and performance) for less than the price of 1 cusco, and it comes more equipped too. thats just damn sad. thats why i wont buy 95% of japanese parts, theyre a total rip off. (in my opinion)
